The highly anticipated sequel to Red Queen. 'Best thriller books of
2023 . . . What impresses is the brainy brio of Gómez-Jurado's
storytelling' - Sunday Times on Red Queen Antonia Scott has an
unusually gifted mind, able to see what others miss, able to solve
the crimes that baffle all others. The only thing she fears is
herself. Antonia is the lynchpin of the Red Queen project, created
to work behind the scenes to solve the most devious and dangerous
crimes. But she is unwilling to move past the last case, convinced
it’s related to a personal tragedy, until a series of deadly
events pulls her back in. In southern Spain, in the Costa del Sol,
a key mafia figure is found brutally murdered in his villa, his
pregnant wife, Lola Moreno, barely escapes an attempt to kill her
in a shopping mall and is on the run. A shipping container from St.
Petersburg arrives in port in Spain containing the corpses of nine
women, all who suffocated. Now Antonia, with the help of her helper
and protector, Jon Gutierrez, must track down this missing Lola.
But they aren’t the only ones on Lola’s trail – a dangerous
contract killer, known as the Black Wolf, is also on her trail. And
Antonia Scott, still plagued by her personal demons, must outwit,
out-maneuver, and, ultimately, face this terrible, mysterious
rival. The Black Wolf is getting closer and closer, and Antonia,
for the first time in her life, is feeling scared. 'An electrifying
serial-killer thriller . . . tops even The Girl with the Dragon
Tattoo as a thinking reader’s thriller, and Antonia Scott is like
a more sympathetic Lisbeth Salander' A.J. Finn, bestselling author
of The Woman in the Window

Now an Amazon Prime Original series, Red Queen is the first in Juan
Gómez-Jurado's internationally bestselling thriller series,
translated by Nick Caistor. More than two million copies sold in
Spain alone. Sunday Times - Best Thriller Books of the Year 'A
Spanish spin on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo . . . A female
Sherlock Holmes' - The Times 'Fizzes with energy . . . echoes of
Lisbeth Salander, but the crackling interplay . . . adds an extra
layer of originality... sparkling' Financial Times You've never met
anyone like her . . . Antonia Scott is special. Very special. She
is not a policewoman or a lawyer. She has never wielded a weapon or
carried a badge, and yet, she has solved dozens of crimes. But it's
been awhile since Antonia left her attic in Madrid. The things she
has lost are much more important to her than the things awaiting
her outside. She also doesn't receive visitors. That's why she
really, really doesn't like it when she hears unknown footsteps
coming up the stairs. Whoever it is, Antonia is sure that they are
coming to look for her. And she likes that even less. Praise for
Red Queen: 'Often compared with Lisbeth Salander . . . Antonia
Scott looks destined to leave every bit as lasting an impression.'
- Daily Mail 'One of the most extravagantly entertaining novels
I’ve ever read. It's an electrifying serial-killer thriller . . .
I loved every word.' - A.J. Finn, bestselling author of The Woman
in the Window
